Why choose Shower Panels to modernize your Bathroom?

Whether you call them shower wall panels, bathroom wall panels or wet wall panels, they are all there to make your bathrooms look neat and spiffy. But what exactly do they offer your bathroom that traditional tiling does not?

Over the past couple of years, wall panels have increased in popularity and have grown into a trend choice instead of a compromise. The reason for that is because shower panels are considered to be more economical and can also save up space among other benefits that we are going to open up on in this article.

If you’re one of those folk who is looking for a reason to switch over from tiling to shower panels, look to the benefits listed below:

1. It’s a More Affordable Option

Depending on the type and brand of wall paneling or tiles you choose, the cost of both tiles and bathroom cladding are noticeably different. The size, decor, and style of the tile will certainly impact its overall cost.

When choosing a comparable tile finished and then comparing their cost in terms of square meters, you will find that shower panels are quite an affordable option, And this is even before you account for the cost of grout and tile adhesive.

One of the reasons why shower panels are cheaper than large format tiles is that they are thinner and larger than traditional tiling, enabling them to cover large areas.

2. Easier to Maintain

Shower wall panels are long-lasting. Not only are they waterproof, but they’re also resistant to yellow and mold build-up and are able to reduce grout lines. All this translates to you spending less time cleaning the bathroom.

3. There is Less Mess to Deal With

It’s a relatively dry process in having to fit in bathroom cladding. And once the surface has been prepared, tiling the wall still needs two wet stages; applying the bed onto the walls using an adhesive and then grouting it when it’s dry, which can be a messy process overall. Shower panels, on the other hand, require only panel adhesive at their most basic, which is applied using a silicone gun tube to bond the panel onto the wall.

4. A Vast Design Range

Wall panels come in a variety of exquisite textures and colors which open up a host of many design possibilities where you can style your bathroom according to your personal tastes.

5. Faster Fitting Speed

Fitting tiles requires the skill of an experienced and proven tradesman, but they don’t come without considerable costs. But this isn’t to say that shower panels don’t require any level of skill to install them, just that they are easier to fit where you only have to make use of more general property maintenance to install.

Also, given that they are larger than regular tiles and cover more area, it’s much easier to install them and that you’re employing a fitter for much less time and ultimately fewer costs as well. Furthermore, when installing bathroom wall panels, you can also install a shower on the same day without having to wait for the tile adhesive and grout to dry up.

6. It Will Not Discolor

Tiles look great when you’ve installed them for the first time, but after a while, they start to discolor. This is when the grouting goes from white to orange or pink over time. Of course, you can clean that up and replace it with more white adhesive. It’s still time-consuming and expensive. Shower panels, however, require only a single simple wipe and the color doesn’t wither away with time.

7. Easier to Change

Removing as well as replacing tiles can be a stretch, not just in terms of completion, but also costs. Shower paneling though is much easier to remove from the walls.
